Southern Cross (Instrumental)

Southern Cross - The Hit Crew

Got out of town on a boat

To Southern islands

Sailing a reach

Before a followin' sea

We were makin' for the trades

On the outside

And the downhill run

To Papeete

Off the wind on this heading

Lie the Marquesas

We got eighty feet of the waterline

Nicely making way

In a noisy bar in Avalon

I tried to call you

But on a midnight watch I realized

Why twice you ran away

Think about

Think about how many times

I have fallen

Spirits are using me

Larger voices callin'

What heaven brought you and me

Cannot be forgotten

I have been around the world

Lookin' for that woman/girl

Who knows love can endure

And you know it will

And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross

For the first time

You understand just

Why you came this way

'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from

Is so small

But it's as big as the promise

The promise of a comin' day

I'm sailing all the way

My dreams are a dyin'

And my love is an anchor tied to you

Tied with a silver chain

I have my ship

And all her flags are a flyin'

She is all that I have left

And music is her name

Think about

Think about how many times

I have fallen

Spirits are using me

Larger voices callin'

What heaven brought you and me

Cannot be forgotten

I have been around the world

Lookin' Lookin'

Lookin' for that woman/girl

Who knows love can endure

And you know it will

And you know it will

So we cheated and we lied

And we tested

And we never failed to fail

It was the easiest thing to do

You will survive being bested

Somebody fine

Will come along

Make me forget forget about loving you

At the Southern Cross
